  • Fulgurite from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona. A fulgurite is formed when lightning penetrates the sandy soil, often fusing it into the shape of the electricity's path. A witness who saw lightning strike the ground in Avra Valley, Arizona dug up this fulgurite. Held by Anna M. Domitrovic, Assistant Curator of Earth Sciences at the Desert Museum. (1992)

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter. View of the entrance to the French side of the Mont Blanc tunnel, inside which is located the NUSEX proton decay experiment. The tunnel runs between France & Italy under Mont Blanc. NUSEX is located several kilometers inside the tunnel, on the French side of the border, in one of the garage areas dug out of the rock at regular intervals along the tunnel. .View of the NUSEX (Nucleon Stability Experiment) proton decay detector located in a garage area off the Mont Blanc tunnel under some 5000 meters of rock which shields it from most cosmic radiation. (1985)

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter. A technician checking Perspex plates at the IMB Proton Decay Experiment site. The IMB Project is named after the sponsoring institutions, University of California at Irvine, University of Michigan and the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The experiment consists of a 60-foot deep tank filled with 8,000 tons of purified water, dug into the Morton-Thiokol salt mine at Painesville, Ohio, some 2,000 feet underground. The proton decay event will be detected by an array of 2,048 photomultipliers that line the tank. Proton decay is essential in most Grand Unified Theories of the fundamental forces, but to date no firm evidence of the decay has been found.

  • A close up image of a Witchetty grub nestled inside the root of a Witchetty Bush in Australia. Witchetty grubs are the larvae of cossid moths.

Photographed in the Australian outback near Alice Springs where they were being dug by Aboriginal women and used for food.
